Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. It uses MotionX AI to identify 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement—while ignoring false triggers like wind, animals, or shadows. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. When a threat is detected at your boundary, the system triggers automatic lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. It challenges the intruder before they ever reach your door, stopping crime in its tracks.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation in Lighthorne Heath, our engineers will assess your current setup. If compatible, we connect your cameras to our Intelligence Hub, instantly upgrading them with MotionX AI, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our proactive deterrent suite. This allows you to keep your existing hardware while gaining the most advanced AI security features available.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied when you're away by mimicking your internal activity patterns. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people even if they are wearing masks or trying to hide. Third is Active Intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, the system triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings. These voice deterrents, delivered via external speakers, let the intruder know they've been spotted by an AI system, which usually causes them to flee immediately.

Privacy is a top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your Intelligence Hub processes footage locally on your property first, only using the cloud for remote access or advanced analysis. We never sell your data, and you have full control over your 24/7 recordings. You can access up to two weeks of history from anywhere in the world via our secure app.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire property. It detects an intruder the moment they enter your driveway or garden, long before they reach your door. Unlike doorbells, which are often reactive, scOS is proactive—it uses lights and voice warnings to stop an intruder in their tracks. For a village like Lighthorne Heath, scOS offers much more comprehensive protection.

Lighthorne Heath has a significantly higher crime rate than the national average, partly due to its proximity to major transport links like the M40 and large employment hubs. In this environment, passive CCTV is not enough. scOS is designed to actively intervene. By challenging intruders with voice deterrents the moment they step onto your property, scOS significantly reduces the likelihood of a successful break-in or vehicle theft, providing the high-level protection that the local crime data suggests is necessary.

With the proximity to Jaguar Land Rover and the M40, vehicle theft is a major concern in Lighthorne Heath. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car entering your property and checks its registration against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, the system can alert you immediately. Combined with our MotionX detection, it ensures that your vehicles are protected by a system that knows the difference between a neighbour and a genuine threat.

Warwickshire Police are often stretched, and proactive security is vital. scOS acts as your immediate responder. By using voice deterrents and lights to challenge intruders the moment they cross your boundary, the system often resolves the threat before a crime is even committed. If an incident does occur, our 24/7 high-definition recording provides the police with clear, AI-categorised evidence, making it much easier for them to identify suspects and vehicles.
